Subject	[equinox-dev] Eight OSGi Services checked in

Looks like Santa is coming a little early this year :-)

The following eight OSGi services have been checked in and are now available
on Eclipse CVS HEAD.  The services are described below:

·        LogService:
provides a general-purpose message logger for the OSGi environment. (org,eclipse.equinox.log)
·        HttpService:
 provides an embedded HTTP server that is capable of serving HTML
and Java servlets. (org,eclipse.equinox.http) 
·        Device
Access: provides automatic detection of attached and detached hardware
devices and can automatically download and start appropriate device drivers.
(org,eclipse.equinox.device) 
·        Metatype:
 defines interfaces that allow bundle developers to describe attribute
types in a computer readable form using so-called metadata.  It allows
services to specify the type of information of data that they can use as
arguments. (org.eclipse.equinox.metatype) 
·        User
Admin: provides support for users, groups, and limited authentication
functionality. (org,eclipse.equinox.useradmin)
·        Wire
Admin:  an administrative service that is used to control a wiring
topology in the OSGi Service Platform. It is intended to be used by user
interfaces or management programs that control the wiring of services in
an OSGi Service Platform. (org.eclipse.equinox.wireadmin)
·        Declarative
Services:  simplifies the task of authoring OSGi services by performing
the work of registering the service and handling service dependencies.
This minimizes the amount of code a programmer has to write; it also allows
service components to be loaded only when they are needed.  (org.eclipse.equinox.ds)
·        Event
Admin:  provides an inter-bundle communication mechanism. It is
based on a event publish and subscribe model, popular in many message-based
systems  (org.eclipse.equinox.event) 

Also, a wrapper to the Eclipse Preferences service has been checked in
that provides support for the OSGi Preferences Service (org.eclipse.equinox.preferences).
 The OSGi Preferences Service
provides a persistent data store
for OSGi bundles. 

           Note, the Wire Admin Service is not
yet complete.  The rest of the services pass all tests.  

Happy Bundle writing!
